Editors' Review

Notepad Plus Plus is a Notepad replacement with an eye toward programmers, although it should also appeal to the casual user who wants a cross between Notepad and WordPad. Notepad Plus Plus has some noticeable differences from WordPad. Support for tabs is key, letting users manage different documents simultaneously. Line-numbering is important, too, a feature that nobody mucking about in C should be without.

The interface is much simpler compared with some of its competitors. A familiar row of icons with their mouse-over labels sits at the top, and one row of tabs is just below that. The rest of the screen is made of nothing but pure white space. All the coding tools live in the menu bar, with some represented on the toolbar. Users can compile and run macros, convert text to Hex, submit directly to W3C for validation, launch in Firefox and IE, and more. There's also a built-in spell-checker.

Choosing between Notepad Plus Plus and NoteTab Light probably will depend as much on layout as anything else. Although, forgive the pun, notably Notepad Plus Plus can not autoreplace Notepad, it's still an excellent Notepad replacement.

Simple design, User friendly, easy to understand menu, I like the way it holds the HTML file even after you quit the program. Fun to explore

Cons

Nothing yet.

Summary

I recommend this to anyone that is starting out and has a desire to 'play'. The program is very self-explanatory and is providing me with a great experience. I will say that this is the only program that I've used to edit HTML...I stopped looking because it meets all of my needs and expectations.

Its a great tools perhaps the only tool that offers the Possibility and shows the necessity to begin Unifying Scripting and coding Languages, perhaps one, two but no more than 3, code languages and Scripted lang's, for Games, Videos, programs, etc.
